POLIN/YIVO Webinar Series: Visions of the Jewish Future in Eastern Europe
POLIN in cooperation with the YIVO with the support of the Taube Philanthropies offer an online course held weekly on Zoom on Visions of the Jewish Future in Eastern Europe: Education, Language, and Identity starting on May 17, 2026. Beside the look on everyday life, cultural belonging, and ideas of Jewish identity, special attention will be given to questions of language and gender. The course explores why Jewish boys and girls often attended different kinds of schools, and how Orthodox education, Hebrew education, and professional training opened (or limited) possibilities for Jewish women. Together, these stories reveal how education became a key tool for imagining different Jewish futures.
